Books inspiration Paulo Coelho life lessons

Perkenalan saya dengan Paulo Coelho berawal dari buku "The Alchemist". Buku inspiratif yang bercerita mengenai seorang anak gembala dari Andalusia yang bermimpi berkeliling dunia untuk mencari harta karun, dan kemudian memulai perjalanan menakjubkan ke gurun Mesir, di mana ia bertemu sang Alkemis.

Buku ini sangat berkesan karena penuh dengan pelajaran mengenai hidup, mengejar mimpi, spiritual, kesabaran, kegigihan dan kata hati.

Setelah membaca buku ini, saya mulai mencari buku-buku Paulo Coelho lainnya. Semua buku yang saya baca seperti: The Fifth Mountain, Veronika Decides to Die, The Zahir, dan Eleven Minutes - berisi banyak pelajaran hidup yang sangat inspiratif. Dan setiap buku memberikan quote-quote yang meaningful dan empowering. 

Beberapa quote merupakan quote favorit saya pribadi dan saya jadikan pegangan dalam menjalani hidup sehari-hari. Saya kumpulkan di artikel ini dan berharap quote-quote ini juga memberikan semangat buat kalian yang membutuhkan.

quote Paulo Coelho life grateful

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

“Never explain. Your friends won’t need it. And haters will continue to hate (because they also hate themselves).”

“You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.”

“The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.”

“Don’t listen to the malicious comments of those friends who, never taking any risks themselves, can only see other people’s failures.” 

“Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.”

“The world lies in the hands of those who have the courage to dream and who take the risk of living out their dreams – each according to his or her own talent.” 

“The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.”

“Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.”

brave quote new life reward goodbye

“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.” 

 “The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality – it connects you to reality.” 

“Life has a way of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen at once.” 

 “One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now.” 

“If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule – Never lie to yourself.”

“Don’t waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear.” 

“People are capable at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.” 

“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.”  

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” 

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” 

“Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”  

believe in yourself faith hope

“When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive.” 

“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.” 

 “All you have to do is pay attention: lessons always arrive when you are ready.” 

“Live truly and forgive quickly.” 

“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it is better to listen to what it has to say.” “Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy.”

 “Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.” 

“Don’t allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily.” 

 BACA JUGA: Pentingnya Punya Waktu untuk Diri Sendiri

“Miracles only happen if you believe in miracles.” “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine: it is lethal.” 

“Close some doors today, not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” 

 “Talent is a universal gift, but it takes a lot of courage to use it. Don’t be afraid to be the best.” 

“Never give up. When your heart becomes tired, just walk with your legs – but move on.” 

“You must always know what it is that you want.” 

“It is possible to avoid pain? Yes, but you’ll never learn anything. Is it possible to know something without ever having experiencing it? Yes, but it will never truly be part of you.” 

“Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to – what is best for me.” 

“There is only one way to learn. It’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.” 

“What hurts us is what heals us.” 

strength faith believe hope fight

“Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.” 

“People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.”

“Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.” 

“Haters are confused admirers who can’t understand why everybody else likes you.” 

“‘Someday’, ‘maybe’ and ‘if’ are very dangerous words that must be avoided.” 

 BACA JUGA: Media Sosial, Candu Jaman Now

“All battles in life serve to teach us something, even the battles we lose.” 

“Those who never take risks can only see other people’s failures.” 

“It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.” 

“Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.” 

“It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.”
